any LFS's that have a pistol shrimp?
 

does anyone know where i could find one, i dont really want to pay shipping for one online

I saw one at Old Orchard on Wednesday.

wheres that?

Skokie ave and Dempster Ave near (actually really close to) Old Orchard.

o thanks because im looking into a yellow watchman goby and it would b neat for the pair

Are they fish killers? I want one and my LFS here just got one in, but I'm afraid they will kill my snails, shrimp, hermits and fish. Do you know?

I don't think so but they do make loud clicking sounds (sounds like a pistol) out of nowhere so if you want some noise in your tanks this shrimp is right for you.

o, is it that loud?

The noise wont bother too much, well as long as it's not an every other minute type thing. LOL I seen a vid were one killed a shrimp, and figured since it can kill a shrimp and eat it will it kill small fish and other things in my tank.

I have a mated pair of pistol shrimp in my tank and i hardly hear them clicking once or twice.

have they killed any fish

im looking to get 2 small clownfish? will it hurt them

The shrimp / fish combo was still there this afternoon. Has been there for at least 2 weeks now (it's up the street from my office, so I stop in once or twice a week) and looks good.

anyone know how much it is?

and what kinda fish is it?

o nevermind that is toooo far for me, its an hour away, dont wanna use 2 much gas;)

I have a pair of clowns,a firefly and some cleaner shrimps...and no problem so far...

I haven't heard that they are fish killers, the shrimp correct? Mine just digs where ever the goby goes and doesn't bother anything. As far as the clicking goes, I have watched the shrimp and the noise looks to come from the shrimps claws jerking backwards. Here's a vid I posted awhile ago.
